Providing another update for those interested parties. BLUF: Goal Zero customer service is very good; however, I still can't find a unit that is made to reliably handle my use case. After returning my second Yeti 1400 (refurbished) under warranty, GZ offered me store credit toward another...

Quick question, my Goal Zero Yeti 3000 charges off of solar exclusively. I have a low constant load on it for devices like my modem, router, security cameras, etc. One other thing I like to do is charge my devices from it daily (phone, tablet, smart watch, etc.). I used to do it directly from...

This is great! Thank you!

This is great to hear, thank you for sharing. I've just replaced my 1400 with an open box 3000. I'm hoping to do the same as you and wire in the victron MPPT. Did you follow the instructions from Will's video or make any of your own modifications? Did you use the "30 Amp External MPPT Kit"...

Yes, and let‘s not forget Will’s final thoughts about the AC200. That being said GZ is not perfect!

I’ve also got my 1400 to return for store credit. I decided instead of trying to get a 1500X and expand, it would be cheaper, and easier to go for a larger unit and eventually do the home integration. However now that I know there are refurbished Yeti 3000 units on the market I think I’ll have...

Great videos Todd! (I just checked out what you posted today about the victron.) Are you considering a set up where you use solar panels to charge the new lithium battery—which can then charge your Yeti? This would be the equivalent to the Link system for those who use primarily solar.

I appreciate your comment! At least I know I’m not completely crazy. I tried everything they suggested I do–while always watching the calendar ? for the warranty. At first when none of the remedies they suggested worked on the original unit, I sent it back and they sent me another (open-box)...

To my surprise, and disappointment, I woke up this morning to find that the wifi router was down--indicating that the AC outlets on the Yeti 1400 had shut off in the night. As you can see from the second image, sometime after a sync at 0426 this morning it shut off. 36.7w of output at that...

Thank you! I will monitor the total power use between a nominal rate (like 80%) at the cut-off and report back!

Greetings all, I'm struggling with an issue that I've repeatedly tried to work through GZ (who has been very supportive/responsive) but I'm afraid something is getting lost in the communication based on my lack of understanding of my system. The System: Currently I run a GZ Yeti 1400 powered...

Have you moved forward with this? I noticed that if you use the GZ Link expansion and want to use an MPPT GZ recommends and sells a Victron. So it shouldn’t be an issue. I have a Yeti 1400 w/250 combined solar hooked up and am having problems with my GZ MPPT.

My MPPT is also fritz-y. I think it will have to be warrantied. I’ll occasionally check on the system and it will be zero on both input/output. And after unplugging the MPPT everything will snap back into place... Example attached. I spoke with GZ and they said to try the PMW and isolate it...
